Bridge Construction Work Starts February 12, 2018

Subject: Bridge Construction Work Starts February 12, 2018

The Bridge barrier rails on the Washington Street and Jefferson Street Bridge over Hopper Creek will be replaced. Midstate Barrier, Inc, the Town’s contractor, will replace the existing 50+ year old bridge barriers with new ones which will meet the current design and safety standards. The new barrier rails will fit into the small town character of the Town using a unique design.

All work will be done between 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to adhere to the Town’s noise and construction rules. Construction activity will be broken down into two phases:

Phase I: During the week of February 13-16 work will begin on the Jefferson Street with a road closure from Creek Street to Starkey Street (see attached map for detour information).

Phase II: During the week of February 20-23, work will begin on Washington Street where the traffic will be down to one lane between Starkey and Creek. Vehicles should expect intermittent delays (see attached map).
